The youngest Blight gulped with here eyes darting from her father to her mother. She can feel the fear creeping inside her heart, her tears threatening to spill out, her mouth drying quickly as possible. Odalia stared Amity down with narrowed eyes. Amity looked up to her mother, her eyes full of panic meeting Odalia's impassively icy ones.

"Three."

Silence.

"I am so disappointed in you, Amity."

Having Odalia being disappointed in her is one of her greatest fears. It means being a failure to them. This fear is one of the reasons why she must always excel in everything she does. Her parents being proud of her is the closest thing to familial love that she could get.

"We did not raise you to be a liar. A liar like you is a disgrace to the Blight's name. Perhaps I gave birth to a failure."

Amity's eyes widened. These words are the words that she hated and feared the most. Her tears threatened to spill, and her determination started to crumble. The day that she hoped would never come became today.

"It's incredible how we even thought of raising you. If I only knew that you're just going to be a disappointment, I should have feed you to the dogs."

Amity clenched her fists so hard that her palms started to bleed. She lowered her head and stayed silent.

"You shall be our puppet forever. You will do whatever we want, whatever we say. And no more dishonesty, no more talking back." Odalia drew a magic circle. "This would be the last time that you'll lie to us." However Amity pulled her hand back before it went through the circle. Odalia let out a growl of anger. She pointed a shaking finger to Amity, her chest heaving up and down. She looked worse than angry. "You…" She looked like she was about to burst any minute now.

"Odalia, calm down." Alador stood up from the couch and walked to Odalia, tiredly placing a hand to her shoulder.

"How could I calm down? She is Disgusting!" Odalia shouted. Amity flinched at the harshness of her mother's voice. This was much worse than the times her mother shouted at her for not doing better in her class. " Se both know she's been hanging around with...with that human!"

Odalia looked at Amity with piercing eyes and angrily said, "You are to not talk to this human ever again. I want you to ignore her. I have my eyes and ears on you. If I ever hear or see you with the human…" She opened her palm and purple fire rose from her hand.

Amity gulped. Her mother's message was clear. Someone will get it if she disobeyed her.

"Are we clear, Amity? Do you understand?" Odalia grabbed her jaw, making Amity wince in pain.", I would not hesitate to give you punishment for your wrongdoings that are much worse than what you already experienced."

She released her daughter's jaw and clasped her hands behind her. Amity decided to run, she ran out of the Blight manor and never looked back.

"We will hurt her. Make her suffer."

" Don't worry dear. It's better this way"
